D.J. Hendriksen & Zn BV have had a trade name new adeptness built . The existing edifice , which father Hendriksen built in 1990 , was in need of replacement ; everything was outdated and specially the increasing measure of cuttings , as well as the faculty , were miss sufficient space . Thanks to the builders and suppliers , led by Gert Roseboom of Roseboom Bouwkundig Adviesbureau , an important step for further growth has now been made .
Simon Hendriksen and Gert Roseboom stimulate handwriting .
RootsHendriksen ’s roots go back to the former 1970s , when father Hendriksen get a bright theme . Simon Hendriksen , son and current owner of the ship’s company , relates . “ He was a hippie and desire to go to India because of the opium there . But the misstep still had to be financed and so he believe that he could put up agriculturalist with carving . He had a good home where he could collect cuttings for free and have intercourse a handful of growers who require to pay up him for that . And that ’s how it originate ; by bicycle to the grower , then his own company - the initial program soon was shelve - with his own cutting production and warehouse . ”
View into the new companionship country
The unexampled edifice is , besides being modern and amply equipped , above all a lot more roomy . “ We have acquire substantially in late twelvemonth . This mean that we are increasingly serve cuttings for our customer . But we had accomplish the maximal content . The raw warehouse is much larger , the driveway is more spacious , trucks can drive in and out much easier and we can store all matter much better . If a payload with , say , one and a half million cutting arrives , we will be finished with it in 2 or 3 hour . That used to be two-fold . The cold stores - put in by Van der Laan - are also more spacious and forward-looking , and the climate in the warehouse is also better ; we can keep it nice and cool . Moreover , things are now more organized , so you make few mistakes . Finally , we now have a innovative office that is to the full equipped . "
A look in their greenhouse
Simon joined the companionship in 2003 . “ At that time we were still fully enlist in the production and trade of winter cuttings . But I had just start out when this grocery founder . Within two geezerhood we no longer could sell even a single winter cutting off . We had to look for other crop , in plants such as box and lavender , and we also had to look for a ( literally ) better mood . That ’s how we ended up in Africa . We had a feel in South Africa , we looked in Ethiopia , but in the end Uganda seemed the best to us . The clime there is good and static , and it has greatly increased our pick , as well as those of all other instrumentalist in our market . antecedently , for case , we were able-bodied to supply lavender in August and September . The customer then had to take press cutting , hole up the plants and go for that there would be some bequeath over in spring . An norm of 30 % of newspaper clipping gets lost , with hibernation an extra 10 - 20 % . Now we supply these plants all yr round , we can commence in calendar week 1 , the plant life does not have to hole up , the cut is much strong and ultimately 99 % is near . ”
Cutting from Africa
From mound to plinthGert Roseboom from Roseboom Bouwkundig Adviesbureau managed the construction , “ from pile to plinth ” . And to the heavy satisfaction of Simon . “ It is important to have a chemical group that can take care of your things and that has your trustingness . It is a lot of additional work , and daily business continues as usual . But construction drop dead smoothly and the budget was realistic . In the end we were maybe just one percent off from the original budget ; the cardinal warming , the gasolene connexion , that all turned out to be a lot more expensive than bear . In the oddment , we also run low for a heat heart and in the future perhaps for solar panels on the roof . at long last , I must accept , I made a bit of a error in the costs of the stale storage . ”
Simon with his married woman Corina
Since Hendriksen started in Uganda in 2010 , the company has continued to develop every year . About 60 - 70 % of the cuttings is primarily for the Dutch mart , because the first customers are often company that rout the cutting . The residuum is mostly for customers in Germany , Japan and China , and a little bit for the US . “ It is unmanageable to get a bridgehead there , but not a must in my opinion . If that would become more it would be capital , but it is not necessary . In any showcase , we can move onward again for the time being . ”
